Gwyneth Paltrow Making Jennifer Aniston Maid Of Honor At Her Wedding?

Is Gwyneth Paltrow making Jennifer Aniston her maid of honor? A report claims the "Friends" star could fulfill the role when Paltrow ties the knot with Brad Falchuk. But Gossip Cop has learned the story is not true.

The National Enquirer alleges that even though Aniston had a "disastrous marriage" with Justin Theroux, "her two-year union isn't a curse" to Paltrow. It's specifically alleged Aniston "still has the inside track on being the Goop guru's maid of honor at her upcoming wedding." Contends the supermarket tabloid, "It doesn't even matter that Jennifer's private life was a wreck. Instead, Gwyneth was won over by Jennifer's wedding ceremony!"

As was widely covered at the time, Aniston and Theroux secretly planned a wedding at their Los Angeles home in 2015. Friends who were invited were under the impression it was a birthday party for the actor, but the couple ended up tying a knot in a ceremony that was organized under wraps. Now the magazine cites a so-called "source" who claims, "Gwyneth was blown away with the job Jen did when she planned her A-list backyard wedding with Justin."

That supposedly puts Aniston "in the lead" to be Paltrow's maid of honor, "amongst hot competition including Beyonce and Cameron Diaz." Unsurprisingly, though, the outlet provides no evidence of any "competition." Still, Aniston is described as "plenty flattered." There's no proof to substantiate that assertion, either.
